Riot and Frolic

Earlier this week, I told you about the headband challenge that was going on over at Little Miss Momma.  I was on it.  What else am I going to do while waiting for this baby but put on some sassy headbands and head out on the town?

Well, I do a lot of this…

So, this little project was just what I needed.

Here's the results of the challenge:

I possibly feel more ballsy wearing my huge headbands right now because I know people are more concerned about my ginormous midsection exploding and not my headgear.  I might have to try this again when I have smaller proportions.

The headbands I have bought over the years are not subtle.  

I basically always wear my hair up, so I was surprised when Ashley at LMM said she tried the headband/ponytail for the first time during the challenge.  How do you ladies wear your hair down?  It is a skill that is lost on me. 

Taking self-portraits is not my favorite thing.

The first day was Church Day, AKA Sunday.  I felt sassier than usual in our quite-conservative church.  Big flower.  Big…  Never mind.  

Next day was Clean Hair Day, which doesn't happen very often.  Celebrated with jewels!

I broke down and made my own.  So fun.  So huge.

I love the flowers/hair-up combo for summer.  Does this count as a headband?  

Sleepy face; early morning run to Target with my fancy feathers.

Bringin' out the big guns.  Felt like I should be going to a ballroom and dancing the Charleston.

The Alice in Wonderland band.  V loves this one and keeps stealing it from where ever I put it down when it starts causing a headache.  

I am loving the hair-holding capabilities of these doodads and am going to wear them more often.  I had a growing-out-my-hair streak a couple years ago where I'm pretty sure I wore one everyday.

I'm linking up to Little Miss Momma on this final day of the challenge and you can join too by clicking here.  I wouldn't mind if you visited that link and voted for my post.  I called it "Headgear for Pregnant Ladies" and if I get a bunch of votes, I could get featured on her site.  Neat!

Questions:

Do you wear headbands?

Do you get headaches from headbands?  I have stretched out a couple of the metal type ones on purpose, often to no avail.  Any tips?

Have you found any elastic-type headbands that stay in place?  I have a pretty good one from Lucy, but it's the only one I found that sticks around through a run.  

Oooo, running.  Miss you.  Odd.
